802.11n in 2008

Wider coverage

8 times faster than Wi-Fi

Higher reliability

Simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams

The new method determines the position of mobile station using a single base station in order to easily and precisely localize any type of device. The new system proposed

The Method explained

Current technologies Methods based on precise measurements ex: RADAR, APS Parameter Estimation of at least one channel parameter Costly of volume and money (additive hardware) The traffic reduced Chip only on the device you want to localize Difficulties in the presence of obstacles of indoor The more devices equipped with MIMO, the more precise will be your localization
